Rain or Shine: Solar Still Saves

When you think of Solar, you usually picture blue skies and sunny days. 
So, what happens in the winter when it’s cloudy and rainy, and does it even work?

Short answer, 100% yes!

But how?

Solar Panels don’t need direct sunlight to generate electricity, they just need light.
Even on those nasty overcast days, your panels can still generating energy – how cool is that!

Rain or Shine, your Solar PV system is still going to reduce your electricity bill.

When you have your initial consultation with one of our Solar Specialists, they will ask for an electricity bill so that we can size your system according to your home or business’s conditions, usage and budget.  But we always recommend quality products that stand the test of time.

Why not add on a battery? 

Pairing your Solar PV system with battery storage, means that you can store excess power generated during those daylight hours and use it when the weather turns, or the sun goes down. With the current government rebates, batteries are now more affordable than ever!

Believe it or not… the rain is actually good for your panels! The rain will wash away dirt and debris off your panels, which in turn will help with the efficiency of your panels. 

Clean panels = better performance.

Whether it’s sunny, cloudy, or pouring rain, your solar system is still working for you—and your wallet.
